REE will be assessed using indirect calorimetry. Oxygen consumption (VO₂) and carbon dioxide production (VCO₂) will be measured. The respiratory quotient (RQ) will be derived from VO₂ and VCO₂. Body composition will be determined by…
Hypotheses are that the long-term supervision of the CooL intervention will be related to beneficial changes in the participants¡¯ energy-balance related behaviours, body composition, and quality of life. Besides, the goal of the intervention is to…
In The Netherlands 2% of women and 4% of men suffer from Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome (OSAS). NCPAP, the gold standard therapy for moderate to severe OSAS has been shown to reduce blood pressure in OSAS. NCPAP therapy is however hampered by…
In this trial, current usual care concerning cardiovascular education is described. Second aim is to study what is understood of this education by the patient. Last aim is to study what effect training of GP's on this subject will have on the…
1. Primary end point is achievement of a negative cross-match test with the donor kidney and transplantability.2. Secondary objectives are patient and graft survival, graft function as assessed by calculated creatinine clearance, proteinuria, the…
1.) First, we hypothesize that a reduction of myocardial damage explained by lower levels of myocardial damage markers (e.g. troponin I, CK-MB) by sevoflurane may be related to a reduction of inflammatory mediators (i.e. TNF-α, CD11b/CD18 cells, and…

The purpose of this study is to do research what the effect of the BMI and fat percentage is on the speed of cooling.
So there is considerable potential throughout Europe in coronary patients and their families to raise the standard of preventive cardiology through more lifestyle intervention, control of other risk factors and optimal use of prophylactic drug…
The primary objective of this clinical survey is to investigate the difference in morbidity and mortality after elective abdominal surgery for colon or rectal carcinoma in different age groups (55-75 years and older than 75 years).and to determine…
1) To examine the effect of a 12-week multidisciplinary treatment on endothelial function, intima-media thickness and blood cholesterol in obese children (8-17 years).2) Investigate the changes in vascular function in obese children (8-17 years).
The aim of this study: - To determine the amount of pressure of PCCDs on the skin. The Pelvic Binder, SAM Sling and T-POD will be compared.- To determine the influence of body mass index on the pressure characteristics of these 3 types of PCCDs.The…
The purpose of this pilot study is to evaluate the fall training in older individuals by reduction of hip impact forces. Furthermore, to determine if older individuals are able to perform these fall techniques after training, fall performance is…
- Assess the influence of air temperature and humidity on cardiovascular, metabolic, and thermic stress during the 4 days marches in Nijmegen in a representative subpopulation.- Identify internal factors (such as body composition, fluit/food intake…
The aim of the study is to evaluate whether the HBV serological response to Infanrix hexa vaccination, after administration according to the Dutch National Immunisation Programme, is sufficient according to World Health Organisation (WHO) standrads…
To demonstrate the efficacy of a PTFE covered stent-graft in the prevention of outflow re-stenosis in loop fistula in a prospective trial.
To assess the effect of adalimumab and rituximab on the safety and efficacy of vaccination with T cell-dependent and T cell-independent primary and recall antigens.
The general accepted Hueter-Volkmann law describes the inverse relation between compressive forces on the physis and the rate of physeal growth. So compression decreases and tension increases longitudinal growth. The observed deformities in patients…
To asses the percentage of permanent complications after ankle arthroscopy, and to assess the type of complications and the procedures after which the complications occur.
